Let me guess, the lane was too narrow for a safe pass anyway without motorist moving into the oncoming lane. So riding two abreast and moving farther left were the safest methods for the cyclist on the climb. Yet you with your motor, plus being on BFs since 2008 and your trooper buddy still fail to understand this safest riding practice by cyclist and feel good that they got wrongly threatened by your ignorant trooper buddy.
Show some patience until it is safe to move completely into the other lane for the safe pass.
PS - your post did demonstrate yours and the troopers lack of respect for the cyclist, so we can see why these cyclist would have less respect for the trooper and motorist in the future.
